Reverting from 17s to Standard 15s!!

[noel-pilot]

Im considering reverting from my 17" Team Dynamic Phantoms to my standard 15" Dynamique alloys.

Benefits would be that the dynamique alloys are much less kerbed than the Phantoms and the tyres for the 15s are lots cheaper!!

the first link is the clio with the 17s good quality pic,

the second link is the 15s but the quality isnt so hot. Its lowered 60mm in both pictures.

Er...and also that the car will feel 100 times better, accelerate faster, youll gain at least 5mpg.

Id go with the stock ones looks less of a theft magnet plus the 17 look to big in my opinion.

erm...what about 16 inchers, like 195/45-16?

the balance is usually in the middle...

It either my 17s or the standard 15s dont want to spend anymore

Why the better economy on 15s? rolling radius no different due to lower profile tyres on the 17s?! Might see how much cheaper it makes my insurance not to have the alloys on, only mods would then be lowered 60mm and the colour coding (plus the ice!!)

What do you guys reckon looks the best?
